Comment Re:to much security BS out there (Score 1) 112

Only a jackoff would suggest getting colleagues arrested because they aren't following the mother government's rules.

These are people who explicitly sought out this employment. And it's a reasonable restriction. This isn't someone speeding down the highway. This is someone who asked for special privileges (in terms of seeing data, etc.)

So hey, keep calling the authorities on your team members you see forgetting to leave their iPhone in the car,

If that happens as an accident, I guess you tell them to go put it back in their car. If they keep doing it...

Comment What about the MPAA/RIAA (Score 2) 90

Facebook video is already filled with copyright infringement from YouTube channels, where rebranded content is being posted. The rebranding of content, plus the limited lifespan of most videos plus the inability to find it publicly, are causing pain in the "YouTube Star" group.

How is the MPAA/RIAA/Whomever going to deal with Facebook facilitating massive copyright infringement? I mean, it's one thing to share a fairly powerless guy's content with 20 million followers, get caught and just have to remove it. But when I want to see a movie my friend has, so he just posts it so only I can see it...?

Given how Facebook is trying to make most people's whole internet experience solely based on their servers,t his is the one time I'm hoping the MPAA can make a ton of trouble for someone.

No no no, Enron had a lot of "related party transactions" (read: embezzling), where officers were making like 10 times what their Enron salary was from their business doing business with Enron.

But even in the same vein, Enron had practically no operating profit, not 1/3 of their stated operating profit. And they were claiming far bigger numbers.

This is bad, but Enron was... well, at least one jury has decided... more of a fraud than a company. Toshiba makes products and money

Comment Re:"privacy of North Koreans" (Score 1) 100

Well there you go, kill or replace that binary, or simply remove the call or change it's destination, no more tagging.

You realize that only select few (very few) North Koreans can access the internet. Those are exclusively in the cyberwar wing, so they knew about this anyway or so senior they love the regime because they're helping to rule it. No one else is really going to know about the watermarking.
